Happy Food and Health
Rotterdam, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Happy Food and Health is a fully plant-based restaurant on the Maashavenweg, out on the water south of the centre with the Rotterdam skyline in view. What sets it apart is structural: two entirely separate kitchens, one gluten-free, which means coeliac diners get the full menu rather than the two dishes usually left to them. Everything is made in-house, and the sustainability argument runs through the sourcing rather than sitting in a paragraph on the wall. The setting is deliberately calm — closer to a beach pavilion than a city restaurant. Mains come in around €18, à la carte, and a local food blog rates it a neighbourhood favourite.
